Ice Water:


 

I am tired of surfing your waves

Looking for a better shoreline to crash into

As the sweat beads on my chest

You give me no rest

And i begin to fall off of my board.

 

Your waves are composed of ice shards and garbage cans

They follow me around this ocean and i cannot escape them

As i try to swim away

You make me pay

And I feel the need to apologize.
